Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
첫 향은 1980년 증류된 탈리스커 특유의 후추 같은 매캐함과 갯내음, 옅은 훈연에서 시작한다. 셰리 버트에서 온 마른 과일과 가죽 향이 그 위로 명확하게 드러난다. 입에서는 50%에서 진하면서도 스카이섬다운 해풍의 짭짤함과 셰리의 무게가 단단한 구조감을 이룬다. 20년 숙성이 강렬한 후추를 감싸 둥글게 정리한다. 여운은 길고 따뜻하며 후추와 소금기, 마른 과일이 천천히 발전한다. 빈티지 탈리스커의 캐릭터가 또렷하게 살아 있다.

pretty much zero doubt, unless someone slightly unhinged has entirely re-dressed a very old Talisker from G&M or BB&R, which would make little sense. In short, it is very much on an old heap of coal at the back of a slightly damp cellar, with cigar ashes, saltpetre, soot, old liqueurs made from buds, chiefly fir, and bitter cocoa from the sherry. Not a gram of sweetness, everything is dry as a truncheon blow. We rather like this. Let us see whether the palate is a little tired, which, all things considered, would almost be good news. You see what we mean
restaurant Palate
we find the bitterness again, the coal-like side, but also those old fir liqueurs, this time joined by bitter orange. The coastal side is well present too this time, with salt but also Talisker’s proverbial black pepper. If this is not old Talisker, it is devilishly well imitated
timer Finish
not very long, of course, but the cigar ashes return, ashes that we might have extinguished by dousing them with a little seawater, then with gentian eau-de-vie, what an idea
